Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2025 and the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize 2025. 'Enormously entertaining' The Times 'Unputdownable' Harper's Bazaar 'Funny, sharp and insightful … a triumph' Lauren Laverne 'Magnificent' Bernardine Evaristo Five women. Three generations. A whole lot of family history. The Valiat family is in crisis. Elizabeth, the regal matriarch, remained in Tehran despite the revolution with only the law-breaking Niaz for company. Meanwhile, in America, Shirin, Seema and Bita wonder if their gleaming lives in 'the land of plenty' are all they had hoped for. When an annual vacation goes wildly awry and Shirin is arrested, long-held Valiat family secrets begin to surface. As their lives are turned upside down, will revealing the truth save their family or break them apart once and for all?
